IIo was slow of circulntion, nbstracted, not nelghborly, and, when o light atarted in his oyo, it was tha light of & consuming ambition, which know that, in the community he aimed to govern, nothing but Auccess was the guerdon, If one should com- pare tho men, e would seo in Chandlor tho most food for morriment, the mout gencric Yankoe, and & man who, by bis nature, got thin and some- whab ugly, it I may say o, as timo eropt upon him. But, in the Virginian, who was ot loast ton years his junior, and grayer, ono observed n porturbed spirit, a man who folt that ho way beaton, and, being benten, Lad no montal or m(;ml compansation for tho cause Lo had fought out.
